it was telling its members all during this year leading up to the election that president obama, if re-elected, would not only take away your gun freedom but all our freedoms, and if that isn't fear-mongering, i don't know what is. >> it's interesting that the gun -- anti-gun lobbying group, the brady campaign, gave the president an f on gun control policy during his first term. how do you explain that, that the president doesn't really seem to be winning from either group on either side? >> no. he has never done anything to advance gun control. as i said, he signed two measures that make it easier to take guns into certain places, and he has never done anything or said anything really to indicate that he has firm plans to impose strict gun controls on the country. i don't believe that he thinks the issue is worth fighting because so many people feel so strongly on the other side. liberals have traditionally, and i think obama has done in his first term given up arguing for strict gun control. i argue that strict gun control alone is not going to solve the undeniable problem with gun violence

i think what we need to remember, what came out of this election, the clear mandate of this election was two things. number one, for our leaders to come together in a bipartisan manner to put everything on the table, to find real solutions. number two, that the majority of americans agreed with president obama's vision of one of the ways to fix the fiscal cliff had to be to put new revees and to raise the tax rates of the wealthiest americans. president obama won eight out of the ten wealthiest counties in this country in this election, randi, which means even the wealthiest understand they have to put some skin in the game. so i think that going into this, i applaud senator chambliss, because that tax pledge i think should go the way of the dodo bird, because once you box yourself in, you are not leaving yourself open to some real solutions. americans want real solutions. >> well, i'm not trying to dump coal in your holiday stocking, but when you look at this spa s situation, should we really expect a lame duck congress to fix a problem that we have been staring at for years? >> the

his book is about this election. what is it in your first book about obama than they do cast him as a centrist? >> well, i always thought he was a proud taste and pretty much his overall approach to issues when he was an illinois state senator, when he was in the u.s. senate. when they read, have to ask about his book about his altogether pre-senate career. it's pretty clear he's not an ideologue. so i always thought the idea of him as a socialist or whatever is just a smear. -- element of truth to it? >> the next book is about -- >> margaret was said you were supposed to tell me. >> there was a concerted effort that started even before he became president, but really accelerated in 2009 to destroy him politically for the purposes of regaining power. and so, it was not a conspiracy, but there were a lot of people who had a similar interest in trying to paint him as something he wasn't. i mean, we all know about the hope further movement. one of the amazing parts about that is that how far it moved into the mainstream

the election is behind us. whatever short-term advantage the majority may have felt it had by protecting its members from voting on almost everything is over. we don't need to have a perpetual election in the country. we have huge issues before us here at the end of the year, much of which will probably carry over into next year. it's a time that we ought to be building collegiality and relationships and not making incendiary moves that are damaging to the institution and could have serious ramifications on our ability to work together here at the end of the year. so i would encourage my friend, the majority leader, to think thoroughly through whether this is the direction he wants to take this body. i think it is a huge mistake. the american people sent us here to solve big problems and we ought to be concentrating on trying to bring everybody together behind an agreement -- hopefully it can be reached here before the end of the year -- to do really, really important work for the american people. mr. reid: mr.
